Brad: You just got to do what Captain Kirk did to Edith Keeler... let her go.
Dean: He didn't let her go. She got hit by a truck.
Brad: He had to. [scoffs] She was going to change history and the Germans were gonna win the war.
Broderick: What are you guys talking about?
Adult Dean: Oh, man. Did he hear us talking about Star Trek? Was he gonna make fun of us?
Broderick: I thought I heard you guys talking about Star Trek.
Cory: You like Star Trek?
Broderick: It's my favorite show.
Norman: For real? Us too.
Adult Dean: Wait a minute. A cool kid thought something we liked was cool? [laughs] Nah, there's no way.

Dean: If it's really your favorite show, then prove it. What happens if you place a phaser to "stun" but you stand too close?
Adult Dean: That's right. I'm not as easy to impress as my weak-minded friends.
Broderick: It can still vaporize someone.
Adult Dean: He's right! Illogical!
Broderick: I see you know your stuff. [chuckles] I can dig it.
Cory: You know, Dean's working on a model kit for the U.S.S. Enterprise. It has 350 parts.
Broderick: Man, you're lucky. I've only seen those in the Sears catalog. Can I check it out?
Dean: To do that, you'd have to come to my house.
Adult Dean: [scoffs] Why in the world would I wanna fraternize with the enemy?

Broderick: Hey. Do you want to see 2001: A Space Odyssey on Saturday? I bet it's not as good as Star Trek, but at least it's in space.
Dean: That's the day I usually organize my army men into battalions, but going one more day won't kill me, so, yeah.
Adult Dean: Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought Broderick would want to hang out again. And also, going one more day with my army men in disarray would kill me.

Adult Dean: In just one week, my perfect summer had turned into a series of question marks. What's going on with me and Keisa? Will I ever be able to look Broderick in the eye again? Maybe I would figure it all out in New York. I'd have plenty of time, since I'm not allowed to cross the street.
